Queluz Travel Guide

 Redang Says:  Once you have visited the Palace, have a nice walk in the beautiful gardens.Last pic: Neptuno Fountain. 

 rexvaughan Says:  This restaurant is nothing fancy and the food is basic but well prepared. It has a small dining room which is pleasant enough and the staff does very good service. We had a full dinner here one night and another came in for late sandwiches and beer. It is a pleasant and by... 

 Redang Says:  The station in Queluz is called Queluz-Belas, and there are some stations in Lisbon where you can take the train. You will be there in about 15 minutes.In Lisbon:- Rossio: It's in the city centre. Metro: Restauradores (blue line), although Rossio metro station (green line)... 

 rexvaughan Says:  I was not able to precisely identify the nature or purpose of the military group shown in the photo, but assume that they have to do with the security of the Palace as it is used for state affairs of various kinds and hosts a lot of foreign dignitaries. Each morning they... 

 Martin_S. Says:  Just a few views aroun the various gardens that surround the palace, from the Pensil Gardens, to the Malta Gardens and by way of the Tiled Canal, there is lots to see outside as well as inside the Queluz Palace. 

 Martin_S. Says:  A beautiful fountain in the Pensil gardens, the Neptune fountain brings back memories of Roman gods and goddesses. But wait a minute, this is a christian culture here in Portugal and there have been times in history when the christian religious authorities destroyed any... 

 Martin_S. Says:  Yes, thats right, a tiled canal. A canal built just to "sail" a boat back and forth while a music group played on the raised center section. From the description a river was diverted to provide the water for this project where the King would ride in his royal barge back and... 

 Martin_S. Says:  An entire corridor where each panel that seperates the many windows is covered with tiled panels, each depicting scenes from what looks like various native cultures. 

 Martin_S. Says:  The first thing that draws your attention is the table here in the coffee room, it looks to be something out of a LSD dream, each small tile a kingdom unto itself, ruling with color.Such a small thing within the confines of a HUGE palace, yet it is one of the things that... 

 Martin_S. Says:  Musical instruments were far and few in between here even though the name of the room is the "Music Room", but never fear did find some instruments in other rooms.What was nice was the walls and ceiling. At first you would think it was wallpaper, until you get up close and... 

 Martin_S. Says:  Here in the Queen's Room the floor was fit for a queen, or anybody else for that matter, the workmanship was exquisite. I love wood and can admire anyone who can work so fine that a floor has survived in this type of condition for so long. Just beautiful.The other striking... 

 Martin_S. Says:  Ambassador's Room, okay so the first question that comes to mind is "where did the ambassador sleep", but when you see the room it looks like it was set up to be a type of offical reception room. Again detail upon detail, the floor, the walls, the windows, the chinese vases,... 

 Martin_S. Says:  Again with the ceilings....as previously said the details that went into such, at least for me and most of the people I know today, a mundane thing as the ceiling, are fantastic.These were in the Smoking Room. Other details in the room itself pale.
